Details

The keyword for 卸 is wholesale. This kanji refers to the selling of goods in large quantities at lower prices, typically from a distributor to a retailer rather than directly to the end consumer. It encompasses the broader concept of the wholesale trade and distribution system that serves as an intermediary step in commerce. By extension, it can also carry the meaning of unloading or offloading goods, reflecting the physical act of transferring merchandise in bulk.
